Comments Thread For: Mayweather Warns: Rematch Would Be Totally Different!

I think Khan would give him a whole load of problems aswell.

Me too, although I can see Amir admiring his work and end up looking up at the lights. But Khan looked solid last Saturday. I can see him giving this current version of Floyd issues for sure. Porter beats him IMO.

Will Maidana be allowed to wear his own gloves this time?

Man...Those Tecate chicks are some serious butterfaces. They should be wearing paper bags over their heads at weigh ins.

There is an interview where a while ago, as long as 24 months probably where he himself mentions he has noticed a decrease in reflexes. Floyd Sr has also said it. Rewatching some of the early rds again now. Floyd does more than fine when he consitently jabs up and down and get's off first. Got him winning rd 2. So that's rd 2, 7, 9,10,11 and 12 reasonably clear even when close. That's 6 right there. Maidana didn't win but he made Floyd very uncomfortable. The margin or whether you think it's a draw depends on the scoring of rds 8,3 and 4 imo.

I recall talking to you about Floyd slipping...and how it went as far back as the Oscar fight. Crazy. Dan and I have been discussing it heavy the past couple years as it's gotten really noticeable.

The Hatton fight sorta threw me off (he still had great legs and was lightening quick) but against Marquez, I couldn't help but notice how flat-footed he was and how much slower his lead left hook looked (just comparing the KD in round 2 to what he was doing to Corrales, for instance). When Mosley caught him standing straight up with the right...forget it. And that's around the time Floyd Sr. said his reflexes were slowing. Floyd is borderline done and I'm not sure if people see it. But they will in one or two more fights, I guarantee it.

of course because Floyd will make sure a referee is there to protect him, take points away from Maidana.

and obviously the judges will never give Maidana a decision.

After 8 Tecate's they're all dime pieces, plus i like girl next door look anyway.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather’s 46th victory didn’t come easy as hard hitting Marcos “Chino” Maidana put on an immense amount of pressure and made it a rough fight. Despite the physical nature of the fight, Mayweather was able to adapt and came out on top as he was awarded a majority decision victory.

The reigning pound for pound king had promised he would not move and stay in front of Maidana and was forced to deal with the relentlessness Maidana is known to bring. Many are already calling for a rematch and Mayweather assures if they do fight a second time, things will be a lot different.

For those of you clamoring for a rematch, I am just here shaking my head as I am not one of them. How many times have you seen the rematch between a brawler and a boxer play out like the first fight? Just look at the results of Floyd vs. Castillo 2 or Lenard vs. Duran 2. The boxer in the rematch will just box, jab and pot shot his way to a unanimous decision. In this case, expect Floyd to just box circles around Chino, clinch when he gets closer and cruise to a boring unanimous decision. The element of surprise is no longer there so he now knows what to expect from Maidana. I just find it ironic that Floyd is willing to do a rematch if the fans wanted it but yet the fans have literally been begging for a Pacquaio fight for the last 5 years.

Yep, i recall that conversation. He really hasn't shown that out of this world reflexes and leg movement prob since Baldomir. Still very sharp against Hatton and ODLH, but not quite as sharp as Baldo and all fights before that.

rather see pac vs maidanna

Theres away of pac beating gayfeather. By fighting maidanna who should be a walk in the park for pac he destroys the gayfeather family completely. C'mon pac. We all know you're the best. Just offer maidanna a little more than 1.5 mill. The rest is all yours. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

Yeah, we've been discussing it since 2011. I wasn't ready to agree with you then but from 2012 onward it's been very visible, to me.

To me, it's very obvious but it's not glaringly obvious, a lot of subtleties. And the problem is the dominant manner of victories in the last 2 fights before this one is masking it. Some people consider Floyd "Better than ever". Genuinely they did, that's insanity to me.

Floyd for me, was at his best 2006. 2007 I think he was still pretty close to it. He's been declining since, started slow and now it's at a pretty rapid state.

18 years as a pro and heading toward 40 will do that, though.

He even looks old to me, in the face. Looks very old actually.
